$4,000 off MSRP of $46,400 is a solid deal. Most dealerships are reluctant to give more than $4K off a 2013 RX 350. It took me days of haggling to get to that number; in the end I got a good deal at $4500 off but I needed to use 6 dealerships and hours of my time to get to that number. Not a single dealer would go to $5K off a 2013 at this time. Those of you getting $5200 off or more on a 2013 RX 350 are simple getting a fantastic deal as this 2013 model is new.
 
Anyway, if most of you end up with "just" $4K off the MSRP that is still better than 90% plus of 2013 RX buyers at this time. Congrats on your new SUV.

$5500 discount is definitely the best I saw. But your final discount at $4000 is also pretty good.

Hi:
 
I am also planning to buy a 2013 AWD in the NJ/Philly area. Can you suggest the dealers which offer the most competitive pricing?
Thanks.

the best they will do is 43,300. They are not very generous in North Carolina

#5214 of 5523 RX350 Lease Questions... by rx350lessee

Folks,
 
I've been lurking around here and find this forum very informative. However, since this is also a very active forum, I didn't exactly find the answers (they might be out there, probably just don't know how to find them) to the questions I have.
 
I live in FL and am planning on taking advantage of the Golden Opportunity Sales Event to lease an RX350 (FWD + Premium Package - ~43K or AWD + Nav/Backup Camera Package - ~46.5K) for 24 months/10K miles. Here's the list of questions I have:
 
1. What would be considered good deals as far as the selling prices for the aforementioned cars go?
 
2. What would be considered good residuals?
 
3. What are LFS's tiers (along with corresponding MFs)? Putting ~$4K down, i.e., $2,995.00 + other fees.
 
4. I'm asking the question above because I've been using FreeCreditReport.com to monitor my CR for at least 4 years now. However, after speaking with a myFICO.com rep I found out that they, i.e., myFICO.com, are the only ones who actually calculate scores lenders use to make decisions. According to that rep all others do is simply report data they get from the bureaus. Is that true? I hope not because there's a huge gap between scores. FCR.com: 725(EX)/709 (EQ)/719(TU) x myFICO.com: 637 (EQ)/663(TU) x WM FICO: 681...
 
5. If what the myFICO.com rep said is true, would someone with those FICO scores get approved? My scores used to be a LOT higher than that (well, at least according to FCR.com), but due to illness in the family late last year I was forced to make (4) 30-day late mortgage payments. The account has been in good standing for at least 6 months now, but those late payments really did put a dent on my score...
 
Thank you all very much in advance!
